There will be no Apple servers on the network so running a netboot/netrestore server to image new computers is not an option.
We have almost exclusively Linux servers at our school. We use ISC DHCPd and it works very well for NetBoot/Install using the lines bellow: class "AppleNBI-i386" { match if substring (option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 14) = "AAPLBSDPC/i386"; option dhcp-parameter-request-list 1,3,17,43,60; if (option dhcp-message-type = 1) { option vendor-class-identifier "AAPLBSDPC/i386"; } if (option dhcp-message-type = 1) { option vendor-encapsulated-options 08:04:81:00:00:67; } next-server 10.0.2.36; } An example host declaration: host example { filename "mac/10.6.3-retail/booter"; option root-path "http://10.0.2.36:8081/10.6.3-Retail.dmg"; hardware ethernet 00:1B:63:B7:46:B3; fixed-address 10.2.10.9; } You may also like use a removable hard drive (pref. Firewire 800 for speed) to restore an image. There are a few interesting ways this can be done. Just say, if this is something you're interesting in doing. _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.
